Situated in the vibrant, historic suburb of Newtown is Paisano and Daughters - a new and totally unique dining destination.
Designed by the inimitable Killing Matt Woods and built by Green Anvil Co, they are housed in the grand 1911 heritage-listed H. May Building, which still features original Art Nouveau tiles in the upper level of the facade.
Indeed, it was these original tiles that largely determined the selection of the mosaic and wall tiles for the street-level entrances to each restaurant.
That, and their culinary theme:
- Flora - vegetarian - yellow
- Mister Grotto - seafood - blue
- Continental Deli - charcuterie - red
- Osteria Mucca, formerly a butcher shop and still sporting the original 1911 decorative wall tiles - meat - green.
In each case, we hand-glazed the accent wall tiles in heritage colours to coordinate with our mosaic floors - just another example of our ability to respond to unique and challenging design requirements.

Situated in the Northern Rivers, The Banya is a modern twist on a centuries old bathhouse tradition - a complete social, bathing and dining experience.
With his appreciation for period architectural style, the owner, Brenden Lawless wanted to breathe new life into an old brick building in Mullumbimby, whilst preserving its 1920s structure.
He cleverly combined raw brick, herringbone timber, leather, terrazzo, marble, mosaics plus a spectacular 120 sq. metre salmon, pink & white tessellated floor - Olde English Tiles' Marais pattern, which occupies the entire upper storey and staircase, together with a customised mosaic entrance mat.

The designer responsible for this stunning hospitality fit-out, Kathryn Ashley, from Guru Projects, notes "The concept combined the mysterious and cinematic aesthetic of film noir with the comforting warmth and excited buzz of the speakeasy. The existing heritage features made a fantastic backdrop from which to build bar and kitchen theatre, a feature wine cellar and intimate dining spaces." We think the end result does just that.
